I wear the same stuff as in the winter. Got an armored jacket that has a lining that zips out for summer. The vents will keep me cool enough as long as traffic isn't bad.....lol. Still get the protection minus the weight and heat of the liner. That's just me though. I am sure that others do too.

well i live in vegas myself (well in winters now, i get the hell out of here when it hits summer).. but get the best mesh you can.. if you living in Vegas full-time, the winter gets to 40-50 the lowest and the highs are like 90-118. which is crazy for leather.. go to the dealerships on boulder highway and check out the appeal, find the mesh that has the more ventialation (sp?).. pretty much stick with light colors or White, NO BLACK (sorry dawg, vegas is not a great place for black - science 101).. also might want to think about getting a camel pack (backpack with a water supply) Well if you were here on x-mas, you saw it was 70 degrees - so this summer is going to be one of the worst, so you got to keep cool and still be protected.. and if you are cold-blooded like me, you will need a leather jacket as well for the winter. it's probbly just me, I'm a wuss to cold - you live in vegas your whole life, you love the heat..
But I dont know how technology is on the leather jackets now a days, they could have vents inside them - which might be better.
Just be careful in Vegas, about traffic and about yourself being cooled - the heat alone here can make people pass out (that's not including that machine between your legs) like tahoe said - but over 100+ degrees, just take it out at night.
